    Hi all,

    hmmm...interesting thread...

    Concorde was quite fast. And the Airbus has been quite succesful.

    And the Comet was the first jet airliner.

    The Buccaneer made a name for itself.

    And don't forget the Harrier,the world's first vertical take off fighter.

    The Canberra jet bomber first flew in 1947 and is still in service today.

    To name a few..make your choice

    Best Regards,
    MB_Avro.

    I'd say the loss-vs-target ratio is probably highest for any a/c of WW2.

    It was difficult to shoot these planes down.. they were SLOW and shells went right through the airframe only making a small hole.
